Agreed. Just hard to clean. I had several "Y" spoke wheels on my former E46 M3 and cleaning them got old fast.

And like your opinion counts?

Everyone's opinion counts. It seems I hit a nerve with my comment. Some of the cars with 20 inch wheels look good, and some don't. When I was fresh out of school I used to mod cars with big wheels and tires, motor, exhaust, just about anything you could change I did.

Now I just buy a new car every three years, that's the extent of modding I want to do these days.

My son tells me they use little tires when they do car hopping not big ones, so I was wrong.

Get over it and move on I have.

Fella - as I stated previously, this thread was not soliciting opinions as it was pictures of those with the 20" wheels. Your prior reference and subsequent commentary wasn't appreciated, and yes, it's your opinion - mine is I love the wheels with my stance - not looking for approval one way or the other.

Seems like someone hit a "nerve" with you as you're back. Nonetheless, we're good and not looking for anything nasty. Peace

Breeks,

I agree with your opinion, I don''t care for 20" wheels on pre-991s. And it's too bad that some here think that only their speech should be allowed.

Gonz996, maybe you should chill out a little and get off of your high horse. This is a public forum. All opinions should be welcome as long as they fall within the posting guidelines. Breeks merely posted his opinion, that's what makes it a FORUM.

If you want only opinions that you agree with, maybe you should open a private website. But last time I checked, this is a public forum with a moderator and you aren't it.

Hey Little Fella - chill out! This thread isn't soliciting opinions versus pictures. So take your opinions and comments elsewhere lest you'd like some guidance. I don't care what you or the other "Little Fella" thinks or feels about 20" wheels. I didn't post this thread for that so just take it some place else. Now let that be a lesson to you - move on now!
